Today’s little message of hope comes from Hugh Laurie. He perfectly sums up the revolutionary spirit of the 21st Century, and the seduction of the perfect, practical answer.
I’m not often driven to introspection or reflection, but the question does come up sometimes. The big question. So big, there’s just no containing it within the puny boundaries of a single set of punctuationary bookends.
Who are these mysterious and unsung heroes of obscurity and shadow? What is their origin story? Do they have a prequel trilogy? What are their secret identities? What are their public identities, for that matter? What are their powers? Their abilities? Their haunted pasts and troubled futures? Their modus operandi? Where do they live anyway, and when? What do they do for a living? Do they really have these fantastical adventures, or is it a dazzlingly intellectual and overwrought metaphor? Or is it perhaps a smug and post-modern sort of metaphor? Is it a plain stupid metaphor, hedged around with thick wads of plausible deniability, a soap bubble of illusory plot dependent upon readers who don’t dare question it for fear of looking foolish? A flight of fancy, having dozed off in front of the television during an episode of something suitably spaceship-oriented? Do they have a quest, a handler, a mission statement, a department-level development objective in five stages?

I don’t know the timeline of this video vs. what I’m about to reference, but shades of Tim Minchin. More than shades. I was NOT expecting those mumbles XD

He first performed this one relatively late in the Fry and Laurie era, 1995. Minchin was still in university at that point.

I can with absolutely no hesitation say that Laurie would have been a huge inspiration to Minchin.
Cool story bro!
No, I mean, no sarco. Cool!
